Yup, listen to all the other reviews. Absolutely the worst professor I've taken at Riddle! Doesn't teach, just tells us WHAT has to be done, but not HOW to do it! You'll teach yourself out of the textbook, and there's never enough time for her to answer everyone's questions. She has such a big ego and thinks she's the best prof. on campus! AVOID!

Wouldn't take again

Completely no communication between the professor and students. She is a reasonable grader, its just the lack of explanation as to why she gave you the grade. Also no extra material given to help you succeed.

I never take the time to do reviews but for her its necessary. She purposely got me suspended from ERAU and ruined my academic career. She switched my partner behind my back and gave me a partner that never showed up to class so I failed the group project which was graded heavily. She has a huge ego, rude and TOUGH grader. AVOID HER
